My life started again when I turned 46 and married the love of my life. I have never had any illness in my life and I am now faced with 4th stage kidney disease and esophageal cancer. Its been 7 months of sickness and severe weight loss. The recommendations are several medical appointments, diagnostic procedures, tests and a strict dietary regimen. Facing these outcomes and changes have made me feel out of breathe, low energy, severe fatigue and loss of train of thought. I can no longer enjoy dairy, sugar, low protein/high protein (conflicting due to the different diagnoses).  Due to all of this, it has made it very difficult for me to work the long hours I was used to.  My wife and I are asking for your understanding and support in helping us get by. Your gracious understanding and kindness will help my wife and I through these tough times.
